ABSTRACT:
A nail holding accessory for a hammer includes a body member having an upstanding pair of gripping fingers formed at a forward end thereof and an arcuate surface defined at a rearward end thereof. The pair of gripping fingers establish therebetween an open-ended slot for receiving and retaining a nail forwardly of a striking face of the hammer. An elastomeric band having a portion connected to the body member forwardly of the arcuate surface and a remaining portion adapted to encompass a transverse exterior section of the hammer rearwardly of the striking face thereof is provided for coupling the body member to the hammer such that the pair of gripping fingers are positioned forwardly of the striking face of the hammer. Rebound of the hammer away from a nail initially driven into a wooden board or like workpiece causes the gripping fingers to exert a pivot force on the body member thereby responsively pivoting the gripping fingers away from the striking face of the hammer to release the nail. The bias force provided by the elastomeric band thus urges the arcuate surface to bear against the hammer head so as to assist in retaining the body member in its inoperative position thereby providing an unobstructed hammer striking face.
